Dreamy. Just dreamy. The milk chocolate in the batter lends the finished cake a creaminess—yes, I said creaminess—and the fact that it's made in one bowl means I can make it whenever I want without worrying about dishes.

Aside from Rhoda's milk chocolate sheet-pan cake (see slide 1), this cake, with its glaze-like frosting that melts into every slice, is my favorite chocolate cake of all time. Is it a coincidence that both this recipe and Rhoda come from Texas?
